Drivel

O is back to dismantling Microphone stands and the less-than-dynamic duo are back recording in person. Which means you can hear them properly in this episode. Just as well, because the pair share some road rage stories, get confused about the Ford Focus RS, ask whether the non-German 2 door sports car is really dying and discuss transportation options when travelling to Europe.

There’s another car review too. The shopping trolley d...

Finally, another episode of Drivel! The duo return for a long overdue episode. This time, Mo and O use cutting edge remote collaboration technology, commonly referred to as Zoom, to bring you an hour long argument.

In amongst the arguing, O complains about time, his wife and Formula 1 street circuits. Mo also complains about fuel prices (so predictable) and the not so convenient world of public transport (less predictable). There’s...

What do people from Birmingham, Bradford and America all have in common?

They will all probably be offended, by O, in this episode of Drivel.

Also in this episode the not-so-dynamic duo provide lots of unwarranted consumer advice, which is probably neither useful nor correct, Mo reminisces about the time when two WWE superstars fought each other in a boiler room, Take-Aways on Alum Rock Road are reviewed in the most lacklustre food...

It happened. It was only matter of time. Clearly inevitable. We shouldn’t be surprised… The censor beep makes an appearance. Twice. Obviously O is the one being censored. Obviously.

In this episode the duo also take a deeper look into the Electric car market and ask why all Teslas look the same before uncovering the true cost difference between ICE and electricity. It’s a very serious piece of automotive journalism from two non aut...

Another fortnight, another Drivel episode. Topics for this episode include, but are of course not limited to:

• Something called “The Visionaries” from O’s childhood
• The return of Ferrari
• A Twitter
• Internet reviews under duress
• A really bad advert

There’s also another Drivel first. It’s our third member’s first car review! Hence the title.

Tom got behind the wheel of the Kia “New Ceed” without any apostrophes. Did the Kia ...

In today’s episode, the duo features the first ever all electric car on Drivel. That’s right, the guys give in, get with the times and see what all the fuss is about as O gets behind the (highly irritating) wheel of VW’s ID3 in a long term test. Turns out its not just the steering wheel that’s irritating…

This being Drivel, there are plenty of side bars to discuss really important topics such as Knight Rider, Thunder in Paradise an...

5 seconds. That’s how long it takes for the bickering to start in this episode of Drivel. Once the duo figure out their intro and remind listeners that this isn’t a knitting podcast, O decides he doesn’t like Jaguar. Clearly still a bit emotional after the last episode.

Also in this episode, Mo wants to play a game, a game that takes listeners inside O’s mind and somehow results in him admitting that given a choice he would choose ...

It’s been a while but the duo are back with more Drivel for 2022! It’s been so long in fact that the guys forget their own social media handles, express a torrent of emotion and ramble for longer than usual. In traditional Drivel fashion, unsolicited advice is given (which of course should never be followed) on things like buying used cars and what not to say in a professional corporate interview.

In other news, O has more personal...

This is it, the very last episode of 2021 and the duo are laser focussed on just two things: the nail-biting finale of the Formula 1 season and a road test of arguably the best all round road car money can buy, Audi’s phenomenal RS6.

The guys are so focussed in fact that technically, neither of them saw the main talking point of the F1 race when it was broadcast live, so it’s a good job we live in an age of TV on demand. Their focu...

The team are back, like clockwork to bring you another episode of your favourite fortnightly automotive podcast. In this episode the duo take a deeper look into main dealer pricing for mechanical repair work – it’s actually one main dealer in particular with a unique reputation for unreliability (we’ll let you figure out who that might be!)

Mo and O also shed ‘light’ on a car from the brand that is home to our favourite marketing t...

That’s right folks! Episode 30. It’s so much of a milestone that there was very little prep that went into this raw, unfiltered, slightly tired sounding episode of Drivel recorded at the ungodly hour of 9am. The chaps fill your earholes with tails of car trading, inflation, the phenomenon of firework displays and the theft of a BMW.

There’s also a lot of chat about motoring shows that veer off into views and opinions that nobody as...

Its been a busy few weeks here at Drivel HQ so in this week’s episode the not-so-dynamic duo discuss a plethora of random things including a car meet attended by a Porsche Speedster replica, a Delorean and a ruined Ford, Movie cars, Elon Musk and the astounding discovery that Mo hasn’t seen Top Gun!

It’s also a special week for O as he is reunited with his early 2000s love affair, the MG Z-S. Or is he? Well, no, is the answer to th...

It’s been a little bit longer than usual since our last episode but we are still here and we’ve grown! In this episode we welcome Tom, a new member to the Drivel Team. O delivers Tom many instructions centred primarily around his own grievances including with Lexus, Autotrader, Ebay, his dear wife and random folk on Facebook.

We focus in on 2020’s second best-selling car in the UK, the Vauxhall Corsa (hold your excitement) and duri...

Today, Ladies and Gentleman, we bring to you O impersonating Mo. We will leave it to you to determine if its accurate or not. We also pose a very important question; does O’s inability to stay still in front of a microphone for any more than about 34 seconds irritate you?

Somewhere in this episode we review the Peugeot 208, the latest car in the Peugeot range to receive some pretty decent styling. Does it drive as well as it looks?...

Have you ever wanted a book review of two lesser known children’s stories read to you by a couple of 30-40 year old regular petrol heads? No. Well, welcome to Story Time with Mo and O anyway. Like everything else Drivel, it promises to be completely average.

Also in this episode the pair get carried away with their Drivel, covering topics such as their inconclusive conclusion on the weekend’s Formula 1 events along with a cracking ...

Another instalment of Drivel sees Mo & O talking about Motoring TV, old and new, which involves taking a trip down memory lane – a lane filled with Chrome Spinners, 1000 sub-woofers and far too many TV screens, but evidently a lack of necessary mechanical repairs or fair treatment of employees. Pimpin’ ain’t easy.

We also get to drive O’s latest acquisition, the FN2 Honda Civic Type-R; does it still live in the shadow of its predec...

In this episode, Mo & O take up your valuable listening time drawing comparisons between Tommy Robinson and Lewis Hamilton, questioning the purpose of Naked and Afraid and make some kind of statement about football.

There’s car related drivel in here too as the pair get to the bottom of the hidden messages coming out of Seat’s marketing department alongside a review of the Seat Arona – yet another small Cross-UV designed for people...

Rounded off nuts, cinema snacks and drunken sword fighting on a Friday night all make an entry in this episode of Drivel. O also takes us on a brief and probably incorrect history lesson around why we drive on the correct side of the road and who is responsible for the speed limit, whilst Mo provides second hand statistics to highlight the impact of silicone on the car market. Warning: There’s some F1 related content in here too.

I...

Have you ever wondered what noise a Range Rover with a broken Electronic Parking Brake makes? Of course you have! Well now you’ll be able to find the answer you’ve been seeking. In this episode of Drivel, we also attempt to offset some of our carbon footprint by test driving a Plug-In Prius and recording in a hot room with no aircon. The sacrifices we make, know no bounds. Drivel – saving the planet, one episode at a time.
